The internet has been abuzz with the news that Karl Lagerfeld chose Keira Knightley to play Coco Chanel in an upcoming short fashion film and the trailer is now here! Entitled “Once Upon A Time” the short film features Keira Knightley as Coco Chanel as a young designer at her first boutique in Deauville, France. French film actress Clotilde Hesme is also in “Once Upon A Time” and I’m guessing she plays Coco Chanel’s aunt Adrienne.
The full film will be posted on http://www.chanel-news.com on May 8th at the same time as its premiere in Singapore, the destination chosen by Karl Lagerfeld for his upcoming Cruise fashion show.

Discovered by the CHANEL Direction du Patrimoine in the Pathé-Gaumont cinematographic archives, this film presents the “Bijoux de Diamants” exhibit held from November 7th-19th, 1932 at Gabrielle Chanel’s apartment 29 Faubourg Saint Honoré in Paris. Broadcasted before the feature movies in every French cinema, it was a prominent event in French news in November 1932.
I love seeing the archival footage of the original exhibit in Coco Chanel’s own home!
Chanel has just released Chapter 3 of the “Inside Chanel” video series. The third installment is called Mademoiselle Chanel et le Diamant which translates to Mademoiselle Chanel and the Diamond. The video focuses on the one and only fine jewelery collection that Coco Chanel designed in 1932 – and that celebrated its 80th anniversary last year with a retrospective collection and traveling exhibit. Learn more about the game-changing exhibit below…
